I went 6-6 in picking Big ten games last week, not a good week, but still 17-7 overall on the season, which is a bit better. I went 3-0 in picking non-big ten games, so I am 5-1 in that category this season. Lets get to it:
Western Michigan at Minnesota: Minnesota has suffered some awful seasons the past few years, but they are off to a 2-0 this year, and are favored to go 3-0. Im not buying the resurgence, for no other reason other than I think they are not talented enough to sport that kind of record, Im picking against them. Pick: western Michigan
Arkansas st at Nebraska: Nebraska was stunned by UCLA last week at the Rose Bowl, putting on hold the talks that they were going to be an elite team this season. They do get a win this week though, cupcake city. Pick: Nebraska
California at Ohio St: The Buckeyes draw their third straight home game to start the season. Cal isnt a complete pushover, but they are still not quite up to par with Urban Meyers team. Pick: Buckeyes
Charleston Southern at Illinois: Word on the street is CSU is worse than Savannah state. Thats really all that needs to be said here. Pick: Illinois
Eastern Michigan at Purdue: Purdue has impressed through two weeks, dominating in week one, and pushing Notre Dame to the brink last week, solidyfying themselves as the biggest obstacle in the Badgers way for a leaders division title. They get another win this week, and start 3-0. Pick: Purdue
Boston College at Northwestern: Northwestern won the nerd bowl with Vandy last week, and Boston College isnt quite as good as Vanderbilt is. Northwestern starts 3-0 in an impressive start to their season. Pick: Northwestern
Massachesusettes at Michigan: I picked Mass to beat Indiana last week, and they let me down, big time. They really dont stand a chance against a team thats superior to Indiana. Pick; Michigan
Navy at Penn st: A disastrous start to the season for Penn st has left some questioning if they may be in store for a winless season. I myself am putting a bit of faith back in them and picking them to get their first win this week. Pick: Penn st
Northern Iowa at Iowa: Northern Iowa gave Wisconsin a big scare, and Iowa has been possibly the worst team in the Big ten so far this year. This could get hairy, but Im taking Iowa to pull it out. Pick: Iowa
Ball St at Indiana: could Minnesota, Northwestertn, and Indiana all start 3-0? its possible, but I already went against Minnesota, and Im doing the same here, sorry Hoosiers. Pick: Ball st
Notre Dame at Michigan st: Its not a point that can be argued, through two weeks, Michigan st has been the ost impressive Big ten team. I think they continue to impress this week. Pick: Michigan st
Outside the Big Ten
USC at Stanford: Pick: USC
Florida at Tennessee: Pick: Florida
Texas at Ole Miss: Pick: Texas
